Great time at this location!
We had a wonderful stay at this location, everything was as described in the photos and listing. Good location to the beach. Only suggestions were that the electric sockets in the 2 queen room were hard to get to, maybe bring an extension cord. Also downstairs bathroom door is one of those barn doors, it was hard to lock.
